TRANSMISSION PLANNING & ENGINEERING

Quanta Technology complements the energy utility internal resources with industry leading expertise and experience to ensure ERO compliance and system infrastructure optimization for expansion and capacity utilization, manage the increasing operations complexities, and maintain operational integrity through loss of institutional knowledge via staff attrition. Our experts can provide your organization with a range of solutions from expert and thorough analysis for your most complicated problems to the efficient execution of routine studies. We can tailor our services to meet your specific objectives.

Wide-Area Monitoring, Protection & Control (WAMPAC) – Engineer synchrophasor and other wide-area measurement systems for enhancing transmission reliability and operating efficiency. Support WAMPAC system planning, system design and specification development, implementation, applications development and support, and identification of best practices.

Interconnection Studies – Examine generation assets and analyze their interconnection status. Perform transmission interconnection studies at each plant, analyze the history of transmission service requests, transactions on those assets, and transmission line relief actions to develop recommendations for system optimality and cost minimization.

Reliability Studies – Assess generation system adequacy, determine on average how long available capacity is likely to fall short of demand, and estimate the likelihood and impact of failure on the Loss of Load Expectation (LOLE) to make recommendations on system reliability improvements.

Distribution Side Demand Response – Analyze and forecast the utility’s customer demand response. Based on forecasts, provide advice on device and facility coordination for bulk system VAR optimization and generator re-dispatch to improve energy efficiency and system reliability.
